"The sky isn't a whisper. It's always there, special AND regular."

[Asiya’s hijab isn’t a laugh. Asiya’s hijab is like the ocean waving to the sky. It’s always there, strong and friendly.] who’s crying over here??? Me! 😭

It’s not a tablecloth. It’s strength. It’s beauty.

Strong and friendly. Awh.

This book is so cute!!! Especially to talk about hijab in such a way that it’s special and beautiful.

There is a unwavering confidence in Asiya’s indentity. Already I love that the hijab is something that is apart of her just as her culture. Even after the boy is yelling she stays confident. We need strong women protagonists.

I like that the hijab is blue and bold, signifying strength. Faizah looks up to her sister’s strength and I think that’s very sweet,
